After ruling the box office with incredible numbers, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has debuted on Crunchyroll, allowing fans to enjoy the prequel at home. After viewing this action-packed cinema, there are many action anime movies like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 that fans can watch and we are here with a list.
What Is Jujutsu Kaisen 0 About?
Based on creator Gege Akutami’s one-shot manga titled Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, the movie is a successful prequel packed with action making it a great setup for fans getting into the Jujutsu Kaisen series.
Unlike Yuji Itadori, who is a hyperactive extrovert from Jujutsu Kaisen, the prequel film’s lead, Yuta Okkotsu, is a timid and troubled teen.
A victim of bullying, Okkotsu is also burdened with a giant curse. However, this curse ensures his bullies are taken care of for good.
Rika Orimoto, who is Okkotsu’s curse, was his childhood friend but sadly died. Now, she has become his shadow and kills anyone who can be a threat to him.
Satoru Gojo, who teaches at Tokyo Jujutsu High, learns about Okkotsu and sees potential in him. Gojo decides to guide his curse in the right direction.
Okkotsu joins the prestigious academy and trains alongside his excellent classmates – Maki Zenin, Panda, and Toge Inumaki.
